Default Handling upgrades?

Hi folks!

I have an '07 convertible I just picked up.
Love the beast, coming from an SRT-4 owner (who used to have an LS1 Vette and an LT1 TransAm previously).

But of all the three previous car, this car needs some work handling wise. Or at least, is not confidence inspiring. The SRT-4 I could toss through corners at will, and the Vette, well it's a Vette.

Most of the talk here is power related, which I totally dig , but what would you guys recommend for handling upgrades?

I would imagine I'd need better brakes too as well. Hmm, this is starting to sound like what I was going through with my '95 5.0!

Other than that, I love this car! I could listen to the engine all day (the dealer had Magnaflows installed on the car). Who needs the radio?

Thanks!

i would not reccomend this. BMR and Spohn make MUCH better products than roush. especially there shocks. total crap IMO. your much better off with Toicko D-specs. buying a package like this is mediocre at best.
